Democratic Republic of Congo say a case of Ebola has been reported in another city of close to 1 million people, according to an article on the Reuters website.
Bunia is the second-largest city in eastern Congo to confirm a case during the current outbreak. Six hundred and ten people have died and 370 more have been infected.
The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said last week that the outbreak was concentrated in two areas and could be stopped by September, but poor security in Congo’s militia-ravaged east and community resistance to health workers continue to hamper the response, according to the article.
The Bunia case is a six-month-old baby whose parents appear to be well, according to the officials.
